Pumpkin Patch Day

The hay ride. Chelsea was nervous

Just a little nervous. 

Ohhh! Dracula! 

Chelsea loved the kitty. Kept petting it. 

Skeletons

Dead end! Dang it! 

We went to the pumpkin  patch today. We went to the one at Wheeler Farm because they had a hay maze and Zach LOVES a hay maze. We did the hay ride, which freaked Chelsea out some. Then did the maze, just let the kids lead and followed where ever they went. Then we ended up in the pumpkin patch. 




Witchy witchy

Thumbs up at the end.

Pumpkin patch princess 
We each picked out a perfect pumpkin and headed home. We got pumpkin pizza and punk'n beer on our way. And stopped at Redbox and got Captain America, just to make sure none of us are commies. 

My big guy
Those some mighty fine pumpkin you have there, sir. 

Brandon says surgery would be necessary here...


Right where they belong

My pretty pumpkin
Pumpkin pizza

Punk'n beer

What a way to end the night, snuggling a sleeping princess. <3

I wish we had a spiderweb in our giant tree. That would be so cool.


I used to really go all out decorating for Halloween. The last couple of years I haven't done much though. We get almost no trick or treaters in our neighborhood so I didn't really see the reason. 
My cute lil spiders. 

Spooooooky tree

This bag is full of leaves that I raked! (the I there isn't doing its
all capital job. It should be very dramatic.)
Then the other day Zach mentioned how cool it would be if we had a spiderweb in our giant tree. And guess what I realized? I DO have trick or treaters to decorate for. So while they have been at their Grandmas for UEA weekend, I have been decorating for Halloween. 

The spinnerey thing has a bat in the center.
Looks just like batman. 



Bat tinsel I hung on the porch banister
Super sparkly pumpkin. Its actually been up awhile. 

HI-YA! 


Monster pals on the wall. They are quite large. 
Its not a lot but its a start!

My awesome skeletons. I wish I had more of them. 


The Witch Spirit Ball. She talks almost as much as Chelsea. At least she has an off switch. 

Happy Halloween!
